Yuto's right eye shimmered inside his pupil, a black and blue star formed, spinning slowly, crackling with hidden power.
Marcus's left eye burned with its own mark a yellow and black star, sharp and violent, glowing like lightning in the dark.
The blue and gold twisted, merged swirling violently in the air between them. Sparks shot across the hardwood, dust lifting from the ground as if gravity was losing its grip.
Marcus grinned, eyes glowing the left one igniting with a golden-black star, rotating faintly like a burning sigil.
Yuuto's right eye shimmered a blue-black star, cold, brilliant, and sharp.
Their gazes met.
The world fell silent.
Then Yuuto said, voice low but charged with lightning:
"Marcus… Formation."
Marcus cracked a grin. "Yeah… let's show 'em."
Their auras collided, spiraling together one sky blue, one gold melding into a massive storm of light.
"ASTRAL-LINK FORMATION!"
The two stared at each other, knowing what this meant.
I'm not losing to you.
